Before you jump in

This entry opens the original Poople at poople.io. It is a daily English word-ladder puzzle, not a Wordle-style hidden-word guess. Each move must make a valid word by changing one letter; the target is POOP. Read the in-game help for the accepted-word rules and current controls. Other Poople sites run independent dictionaries or schedules, so a route or answer copied from one may not work here.
